Pinstachio for Pinboard User Reviews

Hangs at the slightest provocation

I can’t tell you if the app is good, because never really got a chance to use it.

On launch, after logging in, I’m presented with a completely blank screen on my iPad mini in vertical orientation. Rotating to horizontal shows my bookmarks,

Opening the settings to see my options, I tap on Appearance and toggle an item (any item), and the app hangs.

The app has limited functionality without subscribing, and I’m not subscribing with this first experience, so I don’t know how well the app actually works.

Share extension buggy

When I use the share extension in safari, the screen shrinks slightly but the share sheet doesn’t pop up 90% of the time. Please fix, thank you!

Free version is very limited

The free version is so limited in its functionality that I ended up deleting it as it is impossible to determine if it's worth a subscription.

Okay not great

The app will save bookmarks. Great. But beyond that, its features are buggy. I find I can't reliably tag bookmarks and have them stick. And the app keeps losing bookmark icons, requiring a refresh. And the UI is quirky -- eg, select the side view for "tags" and there's no obvious way to revert the side view to the standard view. For a subscription-based app, these bugs should be addressed on a more frequent cycle. I'm looking for an altarnative desktop client.

Decent looking but limited

A decent looking Pinboard client with basic functionality but not very flexible; sidebar contents are fixed so one can't remove or hide extraneous options nor expand the list with searches or tags.

Fantastic app

Can’t live without this! This works perfect with pinboard.

Great modern interface for Pinboard

Pinstachio is just what I was looking for - a modern app built on top of the rock solid Pinboard service. Using the Pinboard website on an iOS device is no fun. Fortunately I found Pinstachio. It fits right in on iOS.

Just in the week that I have been using the app a couple features that I want have been added. Of course I wish syncing my bookmarks was quicker. Hopefully sync time will improve now that background updating in Pinstachio has been added.

Response from developer

Thanks so much for your support! Regarding the speed, I would definitely like to keep improving upon it; if you don't mind, could you reach out via the support option inside the app to see where improvements can be made?

Great

It’s the best but I really wish I could just buy a lifetime subscription for like $50 or something

Response from developer

Thanks for the feedback!

The best in 2021, we really needed this app

The only good pinboard app I could find. Works as you’d expect, can’t ask for more! Crucially, sharing from other apps is very slick.

Not usually keen on subscription, but it’s cheap and if it keeps the app alive and up to date so be it.
